Analysis and review of fishery-dependent data for Hawaiian nearshore noncommercial fisheries

Noncommercial, shore-based fisheries provide economic, social, and cultural services to communities throughout the Hawaiian Islands. The State of Hawai‘i Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR), Division of Aquatic Resources (DAR) routinely conducts surveys to monitor noncommercial fisheries such that estimates of fishing effort and catch by gear type can be generated and used to implement more sustainable management practices. Funding for this work was provided by the Hawai‘i Department of Land and Natural Resources Division of Aquatic Resources from funds originating from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Coral Reef Conservation Program (NOAA CRCP grant #NA21NOS4820017) Grant no.
